County Court Judgment Proceedings
A County Court judgment (CCJ) is a Court order instructing a debtor to pay the money owed to a creditor. It is one of the actions a creditor can take as part of the debt collection process. If you are considering applying to a Court for a CCJ we can provide you with our advice and expertise.
Enforcement proceedings
After obtaining a CCJ, enforcement action may be necessary by ordering County court bailiffs or High Court Enforcement Officers to enter the debtor’s premises where they will then be permitted to recover goods to the value of the debt.
Our team of Debt Recovery Solicitors will be on hand to advise on the best enforcement options after your judgment, which can include recovery of goods that can later be sold at auction.
